Brady to Brown

The guy was a beast up and until the Browns game.

He is injured.

Ghost of Ben Dreith

I don't think anybody has mentioned the biggest impact AD has had.....he has allowed Vrabel to move back outside where he at his best and is having an All Pro year.

So yes, I am very happy with AD so far.

The two worst topics are Maroney made of glass and the Patriots drafting Darren McFadden. Sheer madness!

by this theory Laurence Maroney has been awesome!

It is the training staff's fault...

OTOH, this D does not lend itself to high stats.. so his assigment might be different, always refer to Seymour does not make it big in the box score, but is a difference maker. But also believe that he is hurt and is not able to move as well as he has in the past, the bye week may have been beneficial.

This has nothing to do with this thread which is if AD has played up to expectations.

Exactly, but if you go to a Raven's site, all they talk about is stats, and when AD is brought up, they say, see, he's was good in our(ravens) system, but without Ray, he(AD) is nothing.

And they know what they are talking about.....after all, the Ravens are a really good team with superstars.......oh wait.......4-5, lost to the Bills, Bengals twice, Browns, Steelers. Beat the Cards, Rams, Jets and 49ers, yeah, they really have beaten good football teams. So I guess the Raven's fans know what they are talking about.......sheesh

Yeah, it's not just the numbers that I gave but AD passed the eye test big time early; hopefully the bye week will let him get back to 100%.

I dont think he's yet 'lived up to the hype'. But there's still alot of season left. The guy's a role player. He's signed for 5 years. He's not gonna be cut if he doesnt mass produce today. But, if he helps get us to the playoffs, and we win a Superbowl, I wont care if the guy's had 1 sack or 12. But I have a feeling we're yet to see the best from AD.

everyone is giving him a pass b/c he's been injured and barely played defense vs indy, yet he was healthy enough to play on special teams - isn't this a tad inconsistent?

yes, of course he has been dissapointing. go back to when we signed him, and everyone was expecting a pass rushing monster who would shut down tight ends. well, neither has really happened - he isn't rushing the passer and the Pats D has generally been pretty bad against tight ends (the Colts game not withstanding).

it's like you're not allowed to criticize anything having to do with the team around here
